blackberry balsamic & basil chicken
INGREDIENTS: * TEA TREE PRODUCTS
3 tbsp BASIL OLIVE OIL *
2 tbsp BLACKBERRY BALSAMIC VINEGAR *
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 clove garlic, minced
SALT and COARSE BLACK PEPPER to taste *
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, mix the BASIL OLIVE OIL, BLACKBERRY BALSAMIC VINEGAR, minced garlic, SALT, and COURSE BLACK PEPPER until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).
4. Prepare for Roasting:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Discard any leftover marinade.
5. Roast the Chicken:
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
6. Finish and Serve:
If desired, brush the chicken with a little of the reserved marinade (that was not in contact with the raw chicken) before serving. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
